  • o fortuna is the perfect song for when Fingolfin went before the gates of Angband to fight Melkor in single combat

  • Ur a stupid cunt bitch u dunno jack shit

  • Sauron was his bitch and everyone knows it.

  • B for the video. A + for the music. Wagner's Tristan and Isolde was perfect. You should all go watch Martin Boorman's 1980 movie "Excalibur". That is one of the main themes. Boorman wanted to do Lord of the Rings but it was 1980- so he settled on making the SECOND best fantasy movie of all time- since there was no CGI back then.

  • Please whats the name of this song!!!

  • In his last writings about Middle-earth Tolkien substituted the Prophecy of the Last Battle (Dagor Dagorath) by another prophecy made by Andreth, probably about a different "Last Battle", the War of Wrath (the end of the Elder Days). In this prophecy Túrin was the destroyer of Ancalagon, the dragon, instead of Eärendil.

    The next paragraph quotes Tolkien's words in The Problem of Ros, the others are the comments by Christopher Tolkien.

  • In some of his later writings Tolkien made changes which might indicate that no Vala had definite knowledge of what would happen at the end of the world, beyond that a Last Battle would be fought between the forces of Light and Darkness. However, other contemporaneous texts continue to show further updates to the Second Prophecy of Mandos and thus it is uncertain what Tolkien's final views on the matter may have been.

  • It is also thought that at that time, the substance that was used to create the Silmarils will be revealed.

    Following this, there will be a Second Music of the Ainur. This song will sing into being a new world. The Children of Ilúvatar will sing it with the Ainur. It is unknown what the fate of the old races, or of the old world, will be in the new one. Even the Ainur do not know anything of the second world or the Second Music.

  • Then the Pelóri Mountains will be levelled, the three Silmarils will be recovered from the Earth, sea, and sky, and Fëanor's spirit shall be released from the halls of Mandos to give them to Yavanna, who will break them and rekindle the light of the Two Trees. The battle will end and renew Arda's existence: all the Elves shall awake and the Powers will be young again. Also, according to Dwarven legends, they will help their maker Aulë recreate Arda in all its glory again.

  • There the forces of the Valar shall fight against Morgoth. Tulkas will wrestle with him, but it will be by the hand of Túrin that finally death and destruction will be dealt to Melkor. Túrin will run his black sword Gurthang (Iron of Death) through Melkor's heart, thus avenging the Children of Húrin and all Men.

  • According to the Second Prophecy of Mandos, included in The Shaping of Middle-earth and similar versions in later volumes of the History of Middle-earth series, Morgoth (the source and personification of evil in Tolkien's Middle-earth universe) will discover how to break the Door of Night, and will destroy the Sun and the Moon. For the love of these, Eärendil will return from the sky and shall meet Tulkas, Eönwë, and Túrin Turambar on the plains of Valinor

  • with sound on 100% and headphones in halfdark room you will get cower in moment..like me xD

  • what song is it ??

  • @HDRSUMPLAYER O Fortuna

  • well Sauron doesn`t seem too bad now does he?

  • Anyone know the song?

  • FUCK YEAH IVE BEEN WAITIN FOR A MELKOR VIDEO

  • 0:49 I WANNA FIGHT THAT BADASS!

  • 1:37 salsa cookies lol

  • I've read the Trilogy, Children of Hurin, but not the Smillallanralrlarlion.

    Is that one good? And besides those three, did Tolkien write any more 'real' novel-type stories about his Middle Earth?

  • also you know on the Pelenor field in Gondor when Eowyn killed the Witch King on Angmar, well the sword Eowyn used was not magical againt the Witch King so he well return many ages after the last test, that means that he will become the Thrid Dark Lord so far i know about him, i dont know that the Witch King Died when the One Ring was trowhn back into Orodruin Volcano in Mordor.

  • Melkor or Morgoth the elves used to call him, well anyway Melkor was created by a mistake of Eru IIuvatar it was something who misbehaved in his mind when he created the Valars (Ainur), and another ting it was said in a profehty of Mandos that he will return in a great and terrible anger and that Turin Turambar will kill him in the fields of Valinor in the 5. age i think, also the name of the battle The Last Test or something like that. you guys know when the witch king was killed on the Pelenor

  • 1:07 looks like the lich king

  • pretty sure Melkor listened to slayer and morbid angel...

  • Music: Carmina burana by Carl Orff

  • Fight for The Crown of evil!

  • Morgoth Bauglir (originally Melkor) was the most powerful of the Ainur, but turned to darkness and became Morgoth, from whom all evil in the world of Middle-earth ultimately stems and the ultimate antagonist of Arda. Sauron, one of the Maiar of Aulë, betrayed his kind and became Morgoth's principal lieutenant.

    Ungoliant, a demon in spider form, helped Melkor destroy the Two Trees. This alliance was temporary, however; when Melkor refused to yield the Silmarils to Ungoliant, she attacked him.

  • @PetrosIrma congrats you can copy wikipedia. aren't you clever. 

  • @rule2011 thanks!!

  • @PetrosIrma Could you give me the link from a page to know everything about it?

  • @TheGenitalica yes.write in wikipedia Morgoth,Sauron and Dagor Dagorath 

  • @TheGenitalica sorry for i have not the link of the page to you to give because youtube does not allow me sorry but if you write theese in wikipedia you will learn new things and you will find it!!

  • I think of the supreme being of Eru as a goddess. I don't know why.

  • epic battle at 1:18 gothmog vs hurin

  • @PetrosIrma Epic battle right after that, Melkor vs Fingolfin

  • @freakincrod sorry you are right

  • @PetrosIrma haha I wasn't trying to correct you

  • @PetrosIrma i knew it

  • @mickburke15

    Nah, Thor dies fighting the world serpent Jörmungandr during Ragnarök.

  • @mickburke15

    You just call him a demon god because your god got nailed to wood and Thor carries a BIG Hammer.

  • @Tenebrous76 Shadowland Man, you're not following the plot.

  • @Sojourneer

    There's a plot?

  • Morgoth and Melkor are the same.Morgoth was the Great Enemy of Valar.But in Battle of Valar and Morgoth when Morgoth was defeated he had send Sauron his servant to destroy Numenor.And also when Sauron fall Morgoth spirit were not destroyed.Before the End,it will be a battle in which Morgoth will destroy the Moon and the Sun but then One of the Valar he will destroy him and will be The End of the Days.For more informations and options read Tolkiens Sillmarion.

  • @PetrosIrma i think it is Turin who will destroy Morgoth in the end but it has been a while since I read any of Tolkien's works.

  • @liveandbreathHH

    no, its not. Morgoth is a Valar, and argably the most powerful one. Turin wouldnt have a change to defeat him. It were the Valar themselves who captured Morgoth, in a war of such destructive power that it moved mountains... and split Middle Earth in two (half of it went underneath the sea).

  • @rogerpenna like I said, it's been awhile.

  • @liveandbreathHH right man i have did a false it was not a Valar it would be Turin son of Hurin

  • @PetrosIrma Morgoth sent Sauron to destroy Numenor???

    Numero was only founded AFTER Morgoth´s banishment. The Valar conceded the island of Numenor to the men who helped in the fight against Morgoth.

    Numenor rose in power and conquered most of Middle Earth and eventually captured Sauron, who however was still handsome in his human form, and quite charming, for he was able to turn his captivity to his own means, and beame counselor of the Numenorian king...

  • @rogerpenna i know that.But i have not tell such thing.When the Numenorian fighted against Sauron,Sauron did not fight because he saw that he numenorian where to many and then Ar-Farazon take him to Numenor to look if he will trust his words ro never fight against them.

  • @PetrosIrma actually turin turambar will kill morgoth in last battle not valar

  • @PetrosIrma Nice Grammar... luckily Google Translate had the "Can't understand comment" language. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have understood anything you just posted.

  • @ShootingStarSeva only if you want to know i am eleven years old and i am from greece..!!

  • @PetrosIrma Greece! ha, that's awesome.

  • @ShootingStarSeva yes really but i want to learn english better and i think that its a good language

  • @ShootingStarSeva i know why you are telling ha because we are not in the best political form.and all these that i write are in the few english that i know..

  • @PetrosIrma when did I ever mention your political status? lol I can care less about Politics. Also, I didn't realize that you were a greek from the start, so I assumed. Which on my part isn't a good thing to do. Buuut, your english isn't that bad, quite knowledgeable in fact soo yeah.

  • @ShootingStarSeva ok,sorry for i have spoken attackly,and it is good that you care less about politics..friend alright??..sorry..

  • @PetrosIrma yeah it's okay.

  • @PetrosIrma Actually in Tolkiens notes it was supposed to be Turin that slays Morgoth. Tulkas would battle with him at some point before Turin. On the other hand it's also said that Manwe will face the two dark lords himself. Tolkien had a lot of ideas he wasn't finished with.

  • @TermiteAssassin1 yes..that will be after the death of the sun and Moon..after that Earendil will come for them love to arda and then it will be the Last Battle and the End of the Days and in the Sindarin tongue it is named Dagor Dagorath

  • @PetrosIrma u got it wrong

    stupid bitch...... Sauron was captured by the men of Numenor.... and he poisoned the kings mind.... until he finally convinced him to make war on the elves from across the sea... however... the elves expected this and a great was washed over the fleet of ships... killing everyone save... Elendil and his two sons... they then came to Gondor... and established it so to say... and that is why Elendil was the first king... before he became king was a random.... unknown...

  • @ringfighter222 you are a bitch and i know all this things

  • O Fortuna !!!!!!!!!

  • I need to find some sort of fan page or something where i can talk to people about this cause im gonna die if i don't

  • Morgoth was the first dark lord. Not Melkor....duh

  • @blabberskitess Dude...Morgoth and Melkor is the same...

  • watching videos like this make me feel stupid because I don't know any of this shit any way I could educate myself?

  • @LaxD11

    Just read Silmarillion from Tolkien. All relevant stuff is there.

  • i think that i prefer Sauron as a enemy...Melkor showed his cowardy many times against Valas

  • can you give a list of what the pictures are.

  • children of hurin was soooooooo good!

  • sorry for the typos, I'm on an android lol

  • I hpe there is a Silmarillion movie...I think it would be sweet to see a partially complete Middle Earth, it just seemed creepy...places where the beauty ends and the rest of the land was like this dark barron nothingness. I jusst wonder how they would pull off all the singing bits...that I'd fear...they would probably put some American idle voice in here which would be lame...and oh! Seeing the cretion of the Balrogs of Morgoth! Remember there were more than one if I recall correctly, an army?

  • @ios254 its impossible to make. its to long as a story, and to many importent things to fit in a film.

  • @ios254 dont say crazy things

  • haha that's right...god it has been agez....He started a Melkor but became Morgoth when he fell.

  • Comment removed

  • What i love about Tolkien's writing was how he makes his archvillains terrible and mighty by cloaking them in mystery and never introducing them directly.

    Morgoth is almost like a myth in LOTR - a dark figure of gargantuan proportions whose name is fear itself - We are never introduced to Sauron - even the lesser servants the Nazgul are cloaked - veiled in black - their true nature partially hidden and therefore potentially more terrible than they could be otherwise.

  • Some of those pictures were of Morgoth and I believe Sauron as well (the one where he's standing by the tree in the grass).

  • @ios254 melkor is morgoth, unless u mean after feanor called him morgoth :)

  • I've read The Silmarillion so many times that I wore out my original copy. No matter how many times I read it, it's still enjoyable, and it is my go-to book for long trips when I need something good.

  • shit sound

  • Must read The children of Húrin, I´ve already done it, now i´m reading Silmarillion and i´m in love with Tolkien´s mythology (sorry if my english is wrong) :D

  • @espartan16 Children of Hurin is really great. I read Silmarillion first and then Children and it was like taking one of my favorite section of silmarillion and expanding it... terrific

  • as a tolkien lore enthusiast myself I partially agree but a movie should to a large degree allow a view to watch this story without having to know all the rest of the lore.

  • CrazyPatriot2011 i know all that! i mean i read everything from: lotr wikia

  • Tolkein is the Homer of the modern age

  • @psyclops9 But sadly he died in 1973

  • @psyclops9 Simpson Homer?

  • @HellDinkos The greatest ancient Greek epic poet, Homer.

  • @HellDinkos you're american,right?

  • @avaxnn @ROXXXZO I joke! I'm italian and I love Tolkien. but the silmarillion is boring. very interesting to understand the past of middle earth but is not like the LOTR.

  • LOL SALSA COOKIES SONG :D 1:36 YAY SALSA COOKEHS WINDMIL COOKEHS THEYL GIVE U GHONNOOOORRRREEEEAAAAA

  • LOL SALSA COOKIES SONG :D

  • That guy at 1:18 isnt Melkor... He is Gothmog, the king of balrogs.

  • @tuskaa123 It's Morgoth not Gothmog. Gothmog is the pig faced orc that commands tha attack on Minas Tirith.

  • @VasilitheRocker In the movie yes, but in the Silmarillion there was a creature that was also called Gothmog, and he was lord of all Balrogs.

  • Comment removed

  • @tuskaa123 That's some weird fatso

  • @tuskaa123 Oh god the nerd part of youtube....

  • @LLPTV there's nothing nerdy about taking an interest in the world of middle earth

  • @Noise509 Right. Not at all :) Not saying it's a bad thing.

  • @tuskaa123 This is the guy who leads the troops into Osgiliath brosif, the really ugly pig looking dude.

    Pfft Youtube and their stupid fucking no link rules.

  • PLEASE GUYS READ SILMARILLION AND DONT JUST WATCH LOTR MOVIES AND THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HISTORY OF MIDDLE EARTH AND WHOLE ARDA!

  • Sauron!!

  • All hail Melkor, the true Lord of Arda!!!! buahahahaha

  • th one at 1:14 is not melkor its gothmog the balrog

  • Comment removed

  • @dandan688 i trust in manwe...not a fan of jesus... :)

    stop spreading religious garbage on unrelated videos, comment on the video or dont comment at all.

  • Comment removed

  • @JD4D Why do you say its the mouth of sauron?

  • @eldasralmal He has seen the mouth of sauron in the deleted scenes in one of the lotr movies and there the mouth of sauron has a helmet identical to the one in the picture... so in short, hes a moron.

  • @JD4D thats clearly morgoth confronting ungoliant, at least im pretty sure it is i havnt read the silmarillion in a while.

  • @pac4eva11 We are thinking the same thing. The mouth of sauron i don't even think was alive while Morgoth was(haven't read any of Tolkiens books in a while).

  • @JD4D What? Mouth of Sauron? Where did you read that Mouth of Sauron stood beside the Trees of Valinor and before a Ungolianth, the only giant spider who has been in Valinor? You know, what I'm saying here is pointless anyway, because I know who's the author and I know it''s Morgoth standing before Ungolianth.

  • @CrazyPatriot2011 he probably watched the movies and now thinks he knows everything about Tolkien's works.

  • @pac4eva11 Just as 99 percent of people who have watched the The Lord of the Rings... of whom additional 99 percent don't even know about the existence of Silmarillion... well, maybe I'm being a bit too pessimistic.. lol at least I found someone who understands what I'm talking about, never thought it would be on youtube XD

  • @CrazyPatriot2011

    Yes, and that is a shame. The Lotro-saga is always better and more intresting if you read the Silmarilion.

  • @CrazyPatriot2011 The Silmarillion is vastly underratted in my opinion and i wish more people would give it the praise it deserves, but then again if it was to get too popular some jackass will try and make a movie of it...... i think ide rather have it preserved for the very few and lessening true Tolkien fans.

  • @pac4eva11 I totally agree on all parts. It would really be so sad (and such a shame, and pity) if someone tried to make a SIlmarillion movie, that would also lessen the real Tolkien fans even more... I mean, if someone would decide for himself "I have to read the SIlmarillion book", and then he discovers that there's a movie and with the thoughts "Why would I read a book if there's a movie of it?" instead goes to watch it... :(

  • @CrazyPatriot2011 I have nightmares about PJ making a movie of the Narn i Hin Hurin. That fat twat cobtaminates and pollutes and demands everything he touches; turning poetry into dross.

  • @PalleRasmussen I'm afraid that it won't indeed end even on the Hobbit... There will be the Sillmarillion, Children of Hurin and etc. They won't stop and will continue defiling Tolkien's works just to make more and more money. Well, maybe I'm still being too pessimistic.

  • @CrazyPatriot2011 Mmhmm maybe but I think it will end in The Hobbit, it was the best seller of Tolkien wasnt it? And yes I think you are being a bit pessimist, the "good things" is that the book will be split in 2 movies so there will be more details and also most of the actors from Lotr will reprise their role...you should check the Hobbit official blog videos and make a small judgement from that, im afraid we need to wait for the movies to come out.

    Lets hope it works nicely.

  • @AlbertoDeSagitario Do you really hope that the Hobbit may turn out to be a good movie after all? I don't, you know, and I'm not really waiting for it checking what will it be... especially since right now I'm I have other interesting stuff like re-reading Tolkien's books and reading fan fiction.

  • @CrazyPatriot2011 I hope so, I dont want to be very optimist about it because maybe it turns bad or fair, but it would be a real shame if it ends being a bad movie...but until the next year we are going to know...

    Ahh you are reading the Silmarilion?

  • @AlbertoDeSagitario I've read the SIlmarillion, though only one time, as I said I'm busy reading other books, by the way most of the fan fiction is actually Russian, they have quite interesting but somewhat "unrealistic" ideas.

  • @CrazyPatriot2011 yeah, though i doubt they will attempt it since they would have to add a lot of dialog and how exactly are they going to film the creation of the world? Also the book jumps around quite a bit and im sure the people watching it thinking its going to be like the lord of the ring will be terriby lost and confused. My point is that if they do try it, it will probably suck.

  • @CrazyPatriot2011 my mistake i didnt look at the picturecarefully enough and i just trusted a video showing the redesign of the mouth of sauron for the movies in this video the same picture is shown in connection to the maouth of sauron...nevermind

  • @JD4D Exactly! I mean, for me, it's so important for people to know that Sauron is not the first Dark Lord, who is Sauron by nature, how was Arda created, what is Valinor and many other things that make Tolkien's works so much richer! If you don't know them, then you've just watched a movie with fighting, blood, love and everything else that you find in a movie like that, without even understanding anything, including the true nature of Tolkien's works.

  • @CrazyPatriot2011 i´ve read the silmarillion, The Children of Húrin, The Hobbit or There and Back Again and of course the lord of the rings. I think thats enough to give me a bit deeper understanding for tolkiens world, but i know thats not all. Can you tell me what more i could read from tolkien to catch the true meaning of the world of middle earth?

  • @JD4D Well, you do already have a good understanding of Tolkien's works. But if you really feel like you should know more and you want to know more, then you're certainly welcome to even more studying and understanding! Examples - Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-earth, The History of The Hobbit, Morgoth's Ring, The Tale of Gondolin and... I'm sure I've missed something, uh, anyway, if you want to find more books I would advice you to go to the Tolkien wiki or, if like ask at the forums :)

  • @CrazyPatriot2011 hey the movies are still awesome though! lol

  • @CrazyPatriot2011Yes tolkien's works are more than the movies but this is stupid "Then you've just watched a movie with fighting, blood, love and everything else that you find in a movie like that", it sounds like if you couldn't watch more on the movies than just that.

  • @TheBIOPRINCE HAHA, could you please send me an email about WHAT exactly did you see there? In fact, I just think that you're just a guy who loves watching movies, and just can't see that fighting, blood and love is in fact ALL from which movies consist, and I'm saying that LotR is not an exception, and if you can find even a single movie that does not, then you should have medal. So, "stupid" is in fact you're statement "it sounds like if you couldn't watch more on the movies than just that"...

  • @CrazyPatriot2011 Perhaps as I read the books first, (perhaps you too, i don't know) I found some tolkien inspiration, the epicness, and they were trying to at least give the feeling of I found when reading the books, (yeah they changed many many things) so yeah, I love watching decent movies as well as I love reading decent books... now for you they are just that (blood, fighting ,love) but not for me...

  • @TheBIOPRINCE they definetly wern't just blood, fighting and love but there is no way in hell those movies could capture the depth and beauty of the books. Most people that just watch the movies enjoy it and move on, but most people that read the books look at the series as not just a story of war and epic battle scenes but as a whole "secondary world" and a timeless masterpiece. I did like the movies but I have only watched them once yet ive read the books 3 times. Just an opinion.

  • @CrazyPatriot2011 I've recently became more interested in the lotr world and I will probably read the books and also would want to read the book silmarillion too, cuz the world seems really interesting. Only book from Tolkien that I have yet read is the hobbit that really doesn't explain that much anything except how Bilbo found the ring and etc.

  • @CrazyPatriot2011 whats tolkien? i wanna learn more about that kind of stuff

  • @lolisho0 tolkien is the author of the books.. is that what you were asking?

  • @liveandbreathHH ye i know that now =D

  • melkore was the first and he wasbanished for evil (and illigal dealings with a mortal creature known as ungalith, the first spider) he was banishe to live forever in the mortal world striped of most of his power an because of this he couldnt do his part in his deal with ungalith and had to go into hideing because ungalith(although mortal) was stronger then melkore use to be, after eons of hideingg he taught the first true mortal world dark lord of the power of evil, his name was morgoth

  • @AGO339 morgoth was also an extremly powerfull dark lord and ruled the army of the balrog(i dont make this up, read the similrilian and companion) he was of couse defeated but not befor passing the dark crown to his own pupal(not sure if i spelled that right) a man of gondor known as sauron, then sauron, after years of plotting and power gain ade his move on the world, thats were we all know the story. hope you enjoyed my very very very brief history of the 3 dark lords

  • @AGO339

    Man your history on this subject is absolutely terrible. You should re-read the books. Sauron was not a man of Gondor, he was a Maia, one of the lesser Gods. And ungalith was not mortal either, she was an immortal being of destruction that Morgoth made a deal with to help him defile the 2 trees of valinor. And Morgoth was no imprisoned for what he did with Ungalith, he was imprisoned for attempting to gain dominion over middle earth so that he could rule all creation

  • @Asilaydyingfan15 ya i was wrong about ungalith but sauron was not the lesser god, melkore was lol, thats like the begiining of simirilian, that is something u cant argue lol. and ya i just dug up the book and its right here, and did u even pay atention to wat i wote, im not trying to caus a despute but i never said inprisoned, and i didnt say it was morgoth who was punished, and ya it was the dealing with ungalith(thats the main part of it anyways becaus of wat happend after he got in trouble

  • @AGO339

    Nah im sorry man you still have it wrong, you need to re-read it more carefuly... perhaps youre having problems because english is not your first language? Melkor (Morgoth) was a Vala, that is... one of the greater Gods, in fact he was the greatest of the Gods originally, on par with Manwe himself until he became corrupted. And Sauron was a Maia, like Gandalf, Sauruman or one of the balrogs.

  • @AGO339

    Think about it man, Sauron cant be a man of Gondor, if he was alive in the first age and he was a man, he would have been long dead before the 3rd age... even Numenorean kings didnt live over 600 years so theres no way. Not trying to be a dick or nothin, but you seem interested in the lore so i thought i would help you out, cheers m8

  • @Asilaydyingfan15 he atempted to take over the mortal world and ungalith's dealings with him was an idea of his to help him achiev that, plz read comments more carefully befor you argue with thm, no offence but for one i was dumbing it down for people who didnt know the lore and it was a main points only summery, plz dont continue to argue, i explained my socalled faults now(except for ungalith i waas wrong about him being mortal) also thx for the arguement becaus its good to here others know it

  • @AGO339 1) Learn how to spell.

    2) Learn grammar.

    3) Please stop embarrassing yourself with so-called "facts", you obviously have never even read the Silmarillion as you seem to know nothing about the works of Tolkien.

  • Epic video and good music.

  • la fortun-a ?

  • THANKS GUYS!!!

    P.S @ravenshield56 lol

  • THANKS GUYS!!!

    P.S@ravenshield56 lol

  • one of my fav bits from the book id the duel between fingolfin high king of the noldorian elves and melkor morgoth baulgir

  • There must have been a few Eldar left in Ireland (Lindon) when the first humans arrived in 8500 BC. They turned the heads of the ancestors of the Celts with fantastic stories of beauty and terror. The Irish and Welsh are still wild visionaries to this very day. Staunch and stiff Teutonic Tolkien got the magical Celtic blood from his mother, for which we are thankful.

  • who was melkor what has to do with sauron? can some1 explane me? thanks :}

  • @eleszar1 Melkor was originally the mightiest valar, the brother of manwe. He was evil and rose against Eru, and fought numerous wars against the other valar, the noldorin elves and the edain men. Sauron was a maiar (lesser valar) of aule who was corrupted by melkor (known as morgoth after his 'fall') and was his chief lieutenant until melkor was chained and cast into the void. Sauron escaped and wreaked havoc in the second and third ages until his own downfall as we all know.

  • @zielinski91 Excellent explanation.

  • @zielinski91 excellent summary; you've expertly collapsed a huge section of the Silmarillion into a very short paragraph (slight fussy correction, the term is 'the Edain' a proper noun, not an adjective - hope you don't mind; you're obviously as obsessive about Tolkien as I am!)

  • @keyboarddancers Good correction, I wanted to go on more about how melkor corrupted other men (easterlings) and the deal with the silmarils and sons of feanor etc. but youtube's character limit wouldnt let me. But yes, I am quite a Tolkien enthusiast.

  • what is this music called?

  • @Ilovewow234 Carmina Burana, part "O Fortuna" from Carl Orff

  • It's no! It's Melkor, run! BAHAHAHAHA

  • Mordor today is Turkey, the Sea of Nurnen is Lake Van, Khand is Iraq, Umbar is Israel, Rhun is Russia, the Sea of Rhun is now the Pripet Marshes, the Dead Marshes are the Black Sea, the Orocarnis are clearly the Urals, the Caspian Sea is the Sea of Helcar, the Bay of Cuivienen still sticks out of the Caspian on its eastern side. Minas Tirith is Athens, Belfalas is Italy, Andrast is Spain, Hobbiton is Oxford., Lindon is Ireland, the Grey Havens are Milford Haven. There.
